Maintaining my peace…

(The below entry was published following the events at the U.S. Capitol building)

What did I just witness? Seriously. Despite a heavy year, I had hoped that 2021 wouldn’t start with yet another turn in the history book we found ourselves living through every.single.week in 2020, but here we are... a week in... and we have unfortunately witnessed another infamous moment in history.

Regardless of whatever side you stand on most would agree that united we stand... and divided we fall. Honestly I don’t have the words.

My heart continues to ache

My spirit continues to be uneasy

I worry, and feel anxious about the “what ifs”...

If 2020 taught me nothing else, it taught me to focus on what is in “my control.”

What I can, and continue to try to pour my energy into, is maintaining my sanity and my peace so my cup remains as full as possible, and I can get my family through this season in tact, unscathed, and with the least bit of trauma possible. Period. And I wish that same peace for all of you as well.

That said... let me know in the comments below how are you are maintaining your peace in the midst of ALL THE THINGS? Maybe the better question is... are you??
